Halloween Hack: How to Make Fake Blood

You could go to your local Halloween store and buy bottles of liquid blood, or you could use things already in your makeup kit for DIY gore that’s free.

Shave off a bit of red lipstick, mix in a creamy black eyeliner, and finish with a dollop of thick, clear lip gloss. If you want brighter blood, add more lipstick; for a deeper, dried-blood hue, add in more liner. Then, mix together.

Apply the thick blood mixture using the end of your makeup brush, which is easier to wipe clean than the bristle side.
